Austin Bitcoin Partners with BitPay

Austin Bitcoin has become a certified integration partner with BitPay.com, the largest Bitcoin payment processor. This partnership will help local Texas merchants start accepting Bitcoin as payment for goods and services. The best part about BitPay's service is that merchants do not have to carry Bitcoin on their ledgers. Since the business does not hold actual Bitcoins, this makes it much easier for accountants to maintain their books without needing to create a new entry for Bitcoin. This also takes away the risk involved in accepting a fluctuating cryptocurrency.

Austin Bitcoin is excited to help businesses start accepting this emerging technology. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about Bitcoin payment integration.
